Many speculated that can be turned into a microblogging server easily. It's true, one only has to hide the bookmarked URL, writing the text in the bookmark description.

Paying attention to the rising popularity of microblogs around the world, we've decided to make Betula into such an application. The next version, v2.0.0, will be the start of the new era. We'll focus on compatibility with the leading platforms such as and first.

        @vinishor maybe you want to use fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to extend your visibility to other tech related instances :)

        Already an idea about the fedi solution? Can recommend which is simple and lightweight in our ideas of lightweight solution from BSD aspects.

          Pero es que es verdad!. andará muy lindo desde tal o cual aplicación en Android o iOS .. pero en cuanto abrís un perfil en el navegador del móvil: se arrastra!.

          Es increíble la cantidad de porquería que tiene que cargar el navegador para poder acceder al contenido en ActivityPub mientras que logra lo mismo con un uso mínimo de recursos! Sin cookies, sin JavaScript, sin estupideces .. solo una implementación sensata y buen código!

          Gracias @grunfink@comam.es 🤗

              The is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but can become challenging.

              With instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like etc.

                This delights me in irrational ways. Especially compared to the "you want to run Mastodon? It wants 4+GB of RAM, a gazillion different processes, docker containers, and scads of disk-space", is refreshingly svelte

                      I've performed some tests, and it's great. and are working great together - now with caching of media and json responses, to scale up, and up, and up...and up!
                      is the best tool for caching, but the setup I've tested doesn't require it and it's still good enough.
                      I think this will be a blog post, as soon as I'll have enough time.

                        annoyances so far:

                        1. going to next page(s) to read unread posts from timeline. finding an interesting one, liking it, and i'm back at timeline start. any reason for this behavior? why not stay at the same page/post? if i want to also boost, i need to click-scroll-click-scroll.., depending on what page that post was... and also depending on finding that post again... :)

                        2. hashtags with more than 1 underscore, get truncated into none or one. check this example : https://snac.el-hoyo.net/social/uhuru/p/1742193804.038316 (in editor there are underscores after each word/number)

                        using latest debian package.

Após esse tipo de arquivo estar no local e o serviço reinicializado, o usuário pode escolher o idioma da inteface Web entre suas definições.

                          Acabo de solicitar a integração de mais uma versão do arquivo com novas sequências de caracteres traduzidas.

                            I finally got working with and my this particular account. It’s strange, I think I’ve narrowed the crash down to an issue with the way ActivityPub relays work in snac2. If there is a single boosted post in my timeline when Ivory pulls the data, it crashes instantly.

                                  Updated Version of the apache http caching setup for snac, including proxy media

                                  I already wrote about caching here.
                                  Now I extended what I cache a bit.
                                  This was because after enabling the option to proxy media, I've seen access to the file paths /x/ and /y/ in addition to the path were snac stores the media that I include in my own posts ( /s/ ).
                                  There are two locations to proxy media, depending if you requests the media via the mastodon api or via the web. (/x/ and /y/), oh and I added the nodeinfo2.0 path too, because I've noticed it was queried all the time by a lot of instances and it gives me pleasure to see something cached handed out in the access logs. 🙂 (I guess it is actually irrelevant for the system resources)
                                  This is the updated setup:
                                  Enable the relevant modules:

                                  a2enmod expires cache cache_disk

                                  Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up the old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service or whatever)
                                  Then add this to the httpd Virtualhost config:

                                  <LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/[xys]/|^/social/nodeinfo_2_0">
                                  CacheEnable disk
                                  Header set Cache-Control "max-age=86400, public" "expr=%{REQUEST_STATUS} == 200"
                                  ExpiresActive On
                                  ExpiresDefault "access plus 86400 seconds"
                                  </LocationMatch>
                                  This will use the disk cache to cache everything under the $username/s/, /x/ and /y/ paths, as well as for the /nodeinfo_2_0 path, utilizing mod_expires to generate the appropriate cache headers (for lazy ones like me). In this case caching it for 1 day.
                                  Further reading and all options are explained under https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/caching.html (and ff)

                                  The Header that I set here, on the condition of Status code 200, is needed for the path /y/, because snac set no-cache on that location and mod_expires will honor that if we don't override it. I set it to the same Cache-Control value as mod_expires would. (I use mod_expires because it will additionally calculate the date and put that in the expires header. (hence the name I guess 😀 )

                                    / activitypub noob :

                                    job fifo size (cur): 655
                                    job fifo size (peak): 1291

                                    thread state: output
                                    This number is decreasing over some minutes after I made a post,
                                    I assume it is my instance delivering this to all subscribers, is that correct?
                                    And the last thread will stay idle to maybe wait for incoming requests, so that they can be answered too?
                                    I've never seen another status then waiting or output so far.

                                    I guess if I post a picture that might then happen and all workers will be busy? Maybe even too busy to keep up?

                                    Is that assumption about how the waiting worker and what it is for correct?

                                    If yes I guess I'll increase the threads, if they are intentional low for low ram systems, that's not my issue with snac. (I've not much ram, but I assume snac is by default tuned to be very very very conservative?)

                                    (adding Pic to simultaneously test my theory)

                                            I'm using snac and am following Hashtags now, and am getting a lot of nice content from specialized Hashtag-Relays. I have now a Problem with unwanted Posts that happen to use Hashtags I want to keep too. But I could Filter them by unwanted Hashtags they use.

                                            Snac supports regex, but now The Question:
                                            how do I know in what form the Regex is expected in my filter_reject.txt?
                                            I want to block a Hashtag case insenitive

                                            or (?i)
                                            or maybe something else? It Seems the web is full of different ways to specify regex.
